Hi All,

After being blown out Tuesday by the U boat as he diverted for Germany I thought it was game over for seeing him.. Wednesday me and misses where heading on a short break to Cotswolds, leaving Norwich I saw U Boat was on route game on.. we then headed to Fairford for an hour Thursday.. then on the way home golden arches called for drink stop at Barton Mills.. luckily a good buddy of mine messaged saying gunship in bound, couldn't believe my luck what a week!

Good set Will

Thank you

Really nice set of pics , the first U2 shot is tops for me.

Superb images, right place, right time, perfect..

Very nice mate! Well done

Nice to see the 'bandage' on the inboard RC-135 engine

Glad you had a good time down south and sorry we did not get to meet up on Wednesday but you had more important things on (Cotswold Wild Life Park - )

Hopefully catch up soon

Hi Will, the part-time Postie

Glad you survived SacDonalds

He gave it to much Teddy Daz

Yes Paddy, U boat was a peachy catch well chuffed with it even with the bandage engine cover!

Very nice set ! Mint

Thanks!

Nice Will - the U-2 for me.
Wildlife Park rather than hooking up with Daz? What’s going on!

Beautiful shots, all very interesting catches also - never seen a U-2 with nose art for example. Love that first shot of it!
I guess that replacement cowling on the RC is following the bumpy landing a couple of week-ends ago - right? Looks like it's been borrowed from one of the tanker fleet?

Cheers! Haha I couldn’t drag the boss to Fairford for the whole day she wouldn’t be impressed

Thank you, my first time shooting art on one I must say. It sure is the bandage borrowed from a KC

Great set of some great aircraft
Especially #1,3 and 5

Very lucky and well done on managing to grab these.

Will, looks like you had a great time in the Cotswolds! Excellent photos of a nice range of aircraft. Thanks for sharing.
